Yusei Matsui (The Assassination Classroom) writes and draws The Elusive Samurai manga, which is serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shounen Jump. It began in 2021, and Viz Media licensed the series in English, describing it as follows:
After the massacre of his family by the traitor Ashikaga Takauji, Tokiyuki flees with the help of a handful of loyal retainers who have also survived the purge. One of them is Suwa Yorishige, an ally of the Hojo clan and lord of Suwa Province. The slightly odd Yorishige also claims to be clairvoyant and foretells that Tokiyuki will one day become the ruler of Japan. But for the moment, escaping from enemy territory is the priority!
